This is the Chapel at "The Cove" a Billy Graham Retreat near Asheville. Ruth and Billy oversaw the building of this simple but elagant church. It was thought that the Graham's would be buried there. However, with the building of the new Billy Graham Headquarters in Charlotte, they will be buried there. Jimmie and I visited and perhaps one of the more moving experiences was praying in the prayer room where Ruth and Billy have often prayed. It is just under the steeple. Billy Graham has influence my life. He spoke when 0ur High School in Clinton, TN was blown up in the 50's by the Klan. Clinton was one of the first schools in the South to be intergrated. These events played on the minds of those who lived there, me included.
